DEMONICAL, the new Swedish death metal band featuring past and present members from CENTINEX, GRAVE, REGURGITATE, INTERMENT, AMARAN, WORLD BELOW and DELLAMORTE, recently parted ways with vocalist Ludvig Engellau due to "musical and personal reasons."

The group has since issued the following update: "We still haven't decided who will be the new permanent vocalist in DEMONICAL and as there is no hurry really, we will not take any rash decision either."

"As stated earlier we had a guy named Widda with us on the tour in Finland. For the Metalmania festival in Poland we tried something different and gave Lisa (yep, that's a female) the opportunity to front the band. Both were great and did excellent jobs so big hails to them!!" More...

Swedish doom metal masters WORLD BELOW — featuring CARNAL FORGE/CENTINEX guitarist Jonas Kjellgren, CENTINEX drummer Ronnie Bergerståhl and ex-SIDEBURNERS bassist/vocalist Mikael Danielsson, will release their third full-length album, "Repulsion", this month via Psychedoomelic Records. The follow-up to last year's "Maelstrom" was recorded in September at at Black Lounge Studios and features artwork by Twilight 13 Media.

Here is the "Repulsion" track listing:

01. Monsters In The Closet02. 73103. Gilgamesh04. The Old Ones05. Monument

"I'm sorry to announce that the Isole & World Below mini tour is cancelled due to reasons beyond our control. Germany and France will have to wait for a while. I hope we will visit Europe to do gigs in the future, we are very sorry about this and of course we are very disappointed.We (Isole) will focus on our new material and our second album instead."

World Below have parted ways with their bassist/vocalist Mikael Danielsson, following the departure of their guitarist Per Nilsson a month ago. As a result the groups previously announced tour with Isole had to be cancelled.

We are booked for a Swedish show together with Corporation 187, Skyfire and Decadence. Also a german show together with World Below.

About the new album… We enter Black Lounge now on March 4th and start the recordings. "World Declension" is going to include eight tracks divided into two chapters - four tracks in each chapter - and some titles are: "As Legions Come", "Purgatorial Overdrive", "Flesh Is Fragile", "Sworn" and "Victorious Dawn Rising".

The album will be released in the US by Candlelight America which is Cold/Regain Records new stateside partner. This feels very good as we know how fine the US division of Candlelight handled our two previous fullenghts.
